Abstract

A scheme for a geometrical unification of gauge and Higgs fields, previously given for SU(2), is generalized to include arbitrary semisimple gauge groups. Gauge and physical Higgs fields appear as different components of the same tensor in a high-dimensional manifold, the higher dimensions being comprised by the group coordinates. Their respective inhomogeneous transformation behavior is derived from the same principle. The number of Higgs fields is restricted. The form of the Higgs potential is fixed, and the mass of the Higgs particle is predicted in terms of the vector-boson mass.
